AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170 This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 24 hours.

For early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, wear: coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants; socks and chemical resistant footwear. Wear goggles or face shield, and chemical resistant gloves (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or barrier laminate).

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Ground Application: DO NOT apply when winds are gusty, or when conditions will favor movement of spray particles off the desired spray target. To avoid drift and ensure consistent weed control, apply PUMA® 1EC Herbicide with the spray boom as low as possible while maintaining a unifonn spray pattern. Ten (10) gallons of spray solution per acre is recommended. Under conditions where large grass weeds or dense weed populations are present or adverse environmental conditions exist, a greater spray volume of 15 - 20 gallons of spray solution per acre is required for best weed control. A minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution may only be used under conditions that are ideal for weed control. Herbicide applications can be negatively impacted by environmental conditions, weed populations and tank mix partners. Use a recommended spray pressure of 40 psi with flat-fan nozzle tips spaced 10 to 20 inches apart across the boom. Ground speed for application should not exceed 10 mph. To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles to provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets. DO NOT apply with hollow cone type nozzles or other nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray.

Aerial Application: Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide should be applied in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per broadcast acre. To get unifonn spray coverage, use nozzles to provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles. Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.

INFORMATION ON HERBICIDE TOLERANT WEEDS

Repeated use of the same herbicide or related herbicides may result in rare, naturally tolerant weeds multiplying to economic infestations. In areas with consistent use of the same herbicide or herbicide mode-of-action, crop rotation and application of alternative mode of action herbicides are encouraged to prevent and/or reduce weed tolerance. For further information, contact a Bayer CropScience representative or your local or state extension service.

TIMING OF APPLICATION

Wheat

Apply PUMA® lEC Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to 60 days prior to harvesting wheat in the states of Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. DO NOT apply PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide on wheat within 70 days of harvest in other states.

Barley

Apply PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to the 5-leaf stage. Do not spray barley after jointing begins. DO NOT apply PUMA® 1EC Herbicide within 57 days of harvesting barley. Tank mixing PUMA® 1EC with a broad leaf herbicide provides excellent weed control and crop safety in barley. Under cool, wet conditions, tank mixing MCP Ester or MCP Ester + Harmony GT (at recommended rates) with PUMA® lEC Herbicide will further improve crop safety in barley.

PUMA® 1EC Herbicide will control susceptible grass weeds in the 1-leaf (fully expanded) to 2-tiller stage of growih. Blackgrass can be controlled over a wide range of growth stages, from the 1-leaf (fully expanded) through the advanced tillering stage. Windgrass will be controlled from emergence to a height of 3 inches. Applications should be made to young, vigorously growing weeds.

PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide has no effect via the soil and will only control emerged grass weeds. PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide, when applied as recommended, controls the annual grass weeds listed in Table 1 below at rates indicated.

MOISTURE EFFECTS ON ANNUAL GRASS WEED CONTROL

The following conditions will result in optimum wild oat control:

1 Adequate soil moisture which occurs under normal rainfall in wheat or barley following a fallow year.

2 Temperatures lower than 850 F for several days prior to application.

Low soil moisture levels, low humidity, and high temperatures prior, during or following application may reducE:' wild oat and foxtail control provided by PUMA® 1EC Herbicide.

Foxtail under drought stress will exhibit rolled leaves ("onion leaf') and should not be sprayed as poor control may result Apply PUMA® 1EC Herbicide when conditions improve.

TANK MIX COMBINATIONS When tank mixing, read and follow the precautionary statements, directions for use, weeds controlled, geographic. and other restrictions on the labeling of each tank mix partner used. Use in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions. Tank mix partners not recommended on this label may cause reduced annual grass control (antagonism) or crop injury. It is recommended to apply any pesticides not listed on this label sequentially, 5 days before or after a PUMA® 1 EC Herbicide application. Bayer CropScience recommends that PUMA® 1 EC should not be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers unless specifically recommended on this label.

Compatibility Testing with Tank Mix Partners

If PUMA® 1EC Herbicide is to be tank mixed with other pesticides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each tank-mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions.

Insecticides PUMA® 1EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with either Furadan® 4F, Sevin® XLR PLUS. or Warrior~J insecticides if timing for insect and weed control are proper. Do not tank mix with malathion as wild oat control will be reduced.

Fungicides Fungicides such as mancozeb (Dithane F-45®; Manzate® 75DF; Penncozeb® 75DF), Tilt®, Benlate", Stratego® without additional adjuvant, or Topsin® M can be tank mixed with PUMA® 1EC Herbicide when timing for application of each tank mix partner is the same for the use site.

Broadleaf Herbicides Broadleaf weed control options are listed in Tables 2, 3, or 4, when timing of application for each tank mix ;;:-I~lIl, use site. Always check the tank mix partner label to determine jf the addition of a surfactant is required
